A shame, I wanted Morse.

There are not many options left with power. Maybe this is a sign that they will be making a trade soon.

Hope Dan signs Colby soon.

Rasmus is the model of inconsistency. Sure, there is a chance that he could have a solid season, but I wouldn't bet my money on him.

What's the pricetag on Justin Upton these days? Coming down a bit lower than Dylan Bundy?

Morse is one of the guys I would have been happy with adding.

Out of all the options left out there, he's the one I like the most at this point. I would have liked both Colby AND Morse.

Time to revisit those Upton and Bruce trade talks

Still bet the team we have now is what will go to ST. We're trying to wait everyone out like we did Cruz

Duquette sounds like he'd rather sign FA's instead of making trades. But the FA's will cost too much.

Out of all the options left out there...

There are always options. Always. Once you're convinced that you have to have one particular thing you're over the barrel. I often think that teams are like my wife when we went to buy a minivan a few years ago. My attitude is there are a million minivans, if this dealer can't give us the price we want I'll just go somewhere else. My wife's attitude was "OMG they're going to sell my van and I can't let them do that let me call the guy and make sure he doesn't sell it to someone else before we get back there!!!@(@!(@" At that point I just resigned myself to giving them all the money. With free agents and trades and international guys and minor leaguers and platoons and waivers... there are a million minivans.

That's what he said, but that could simply be a negotiating tactic in trade talks.

It will be interesting to see what he signs for. I liked him as well, to replace some of Cruz's production. I'm guessing the Marlins will have paid him 4 million plus per year, which is not where DD wants to go. We'll see.
